5.0
This book is a wonderful mix of well-researched information, historical storytelling, and personal anecdotes that form a complete picture of the American Caste System that is powerful enough for a scholar to read but easy enough to understand for a layman. The points of comparison between the Indian Caste System, Nazi Germany, and the American slave trade/subsequent fallout draw parallels that seem unrelated but form a clear picture of dangerous (but accepted) power structures.
